Id just like to express my hypothesis on the usefulness of doing PHD in those.
Suppose u have "hirable" eng and superior interpersonal & communication skill level and ur responsive and act like a normal person.. Lol ,
and Suppose u have relevant proper experience in finance and accounting.
It's definitely a BIG BIG PLUS for you if you are going to do PHD in Finance. This open doors for you in all sorts of areas and high paying roles ($80 -$100K /yr, bonus could be upto another $100K/yr). But for sure needs good eng together with the other soft skills.
PHD in accounting, hmm...cant give u the same advantage, you might just end up being a researcher or in policy in accounting std board or at uni...or a lecturer or tutor if you are not one yet. (Still really good money though). It is because in the industry (i.e. commercial world) except for big 4 and std setting bodies, they don't really need people with crazy accounting or accounting research knowledge. ...phd in acct could be good if u like facing accounting research and analysing policy all day or if u like to be a lecturer.
With PHD in Finance and a few internship or even work experience (!! 1 yr before you finished PHD!! ) in IB or Big4 or management consultants like Boston Consulting, this will put u straight into wherever u wana go in ur career after PHD.
U could be a i-banker in equities or capital market e.g. Equities Research/trader or Quant Analyst or Fixed Income Trader...all r 100K+ roles (with bonus, can be $200K). Private Equity (PE) or Hedge Fund can even give u 200K base salary. Anyway everywhere.
Or maybe easier job such as in equities, capital markets in the bank or smaller places.
But if you don't have much relevant experience, you've gotta get good grades still for your PHD. That means all day research and study and you've gotta be creative and PC savvy cos u gona need them.
Then after PHD in finance, you can be an associate in IBs. Associate is a higher level entry pos for MBAs and PHDs.
But life in IBs or the like is not easy. You gotta bang bang bang, work like PC , smart, diligent, responsive and entertaining ppl at the same time.
Absolutely can't make any stupid mistakes or else ur gone (since they think it becos u didnt exercise ur strategy properly that leads to that.
Now Pros and Cons in general :
Cons:
it's quite worthless if you didnt do it at a good uni like UNSW or Melb. Cos internationally only these 2 can be compared with the Ivy-leagues in the US. Locally, of course the group of eight.
$$: .
have u got scholarship or paid casual work at uni too? or a good payin part time job?
Time:
Don't forget to get involved in uni like as a committee for the student society and a casual tutor or sth.. all u have to do is to make urself look really busy on ur CV during study period. THis is very important for grads without experience and HD average. I'didnt do this so im coppin in now. So regret
Married or in a relationship yet? :
If not, you probably wont get any partner in the next few years unless ur good looking. This pressumes u wana have crazy grades and easy to find a matching job after PHD.
Pros:
assume you are very discipline and finally get ur cert with "lookable" results and some exp.
U gona have a real RICH but stressful future. |
